Which risk increases when lithium-ion batteries experience overcharging?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway risk increases because overcharging causes decomposition of the electrolyte, increasing internal resistance, resulting in heat generation via exothermic reactions; therefore a thermal runaway is promoted, rather than other degradations like electrolyte imbalances.
